Hey dude here is the thery that I get from the info below.[b:4398e0a300]From a "cold" boot everything looks OK until...
Verifying DMI pool data....then it halts. If I reboot, scandisk find errors in bootrecord...repair...yes....and then I can see the desktop again.[/b:4398e0a300], what is happening is that when you do a cold boot the Bios starts to probe the system for Hardware detecting this where the DMI come in, The Dmi provides direct access and eliminate the need for error prone operations like probeing the system for Hardware detecting. So that is telling me one or two things one of your expansion cards is bad or you may need to update your Bios or get a new motherboard. the expansion cards can cause the system to hang or not boot it seems that one of the cards is intermiting, meaning it only works now and then, and work when the PC does a warm boot thus causing the Pc not to hang after a warm boot lets runa test and find out really what is going on first before you go updateing your bios let start with the card's remove one the cards and restart the PC cold boot please so give some time to cool down a little. see the result with each cards after removeing one card if you get the same result as before just remove another if you remove all the cards and the prob is still there then get a Bios update from your motherboard vendor and apply it, OH yeah if you have a integrated Video card that could be the prob also and make sure wheen you're upadeting the bios [b:4398e0a300]NOT TO POWER CYCLE THE PC[/b:4398e0a300] hat is if ya have good luck dude
